Speaking of Cabana Boys...
My son arrived from NYC today. How exciting for him to see his first view of our adventure. My carpenters apparently also awaited his arrival with a smile. When we got back from the airport it was dusk.. not quite dark. I expected everyone to have left for the day. We heard voices down at the big house an hour after everyone is usually gone. As we drove down the 600 ft driveway and hit the big curve, we made our first glance at the house and wouldn't you know.... those rascals had rigged up a Christmas Tree, complete with lights and balls on the roof of the house! I guess that made the house the present under the tree. Had to hug every one of them. I do love my guys.
Also, I mentioned to a friend that our water pump went out yesterday and that I had to go to Kona this morning to do a promised favor for a friend. I was bummed that my son would return to a cabin with no running water but it couldn't be helped; a promise is a promise. Wouldn't you know, these wonderful new friends came over to the cabin while I was gone, joined one of the carpenters and Billy the resident cabanaboy and they not only replaced the pump (I did have a new one here) but rerouted all the plumbing to accomodate the new, bigger water tank I had begun setting up. You gotta love this place! People just reach out to one another here in our part of paradise. It's so nice to have friends that just reach out to youl. I am blessed with the good spirit of this land. I will do my best to live up to the generous gifts I am receiving!
Aloha, Pam
Just another day in P A R A D I S E !!

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
